2009-11-11 13:48:14 - A Coventry firm has topped off a recession-beating 2009 by moving to new headquarters.

Elite Business Services, which sells accounting and business computer software across the Midlands, needed to expand after seeing its profits grow year-on-year.

The company has now moved to Sycamore Court on Birmingham Road, where it will has purchased a two floor 4,343 sq ft office.

Zaid Rehman, managing director of Elite, said: “We have had continuous growth over recent years and the credit crunch hasn’t put a stop to that.

“We’ve worked hard to attract new clients and ensure our existing customers are well looked after.

“It reached a point where we needed to upgrade our facilities and create extra space, both for our current activities and for future growth.

“We have purchased a two floor office at Sycamore Court, even though we only need

one floor at present – and that is an indication of our plans to grow over the coming years.

“The move has gone down well with our current staff too – we’ve now got a ‘chill out’ room and an orchard complete with rabbits! It’s a very nice environment and we’re looking forward to a successful future here.”

Elite Business Services, who had been based in Coundon for 13 years, secured the move through Bromwich Hardy.

Tom Bromwich, partner at the Coventry-based commercial agents, said: “Elite has been looking for a new office for some time, but had a certain type of property in mind.

“The Sycamore Court property fitted the bill – and it means Elite can rent one floor for the foreseeable future but have room to expand further down the line.

“The company had been in a building which was a bank in the 1930s, so their new office is certainly modern in comparison!”
